Apoptosis of cultured granulosa-lutein cells is reduced by insulin-like growth factor I and may correlate with embryo fragmentation and pregnancy rate  Eija Bencomo, M.Sc., Rosa Pérez, M.Sc., Mari-Francis Arteaga, Ph.D., Elisa Acosta, M.Sc., Oscar Peña, M.Sc., Lourdes Lopez, M.D., Julio Avila, Ph.D., Angela Palumbo, M.D., Ph.D.  Fertility and Sterility  Volume 85, Issue 2, Pages 474-480 (February 2006) DOI: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2005.08.014 Copyright © 2006 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

FIGURE 1 Fluorescent micrograph. (A) Viable (red nucleus) and apoptotic (red nucleus and green cytoplasm) mural GL cells after 48 hours of culture without serum. (B) Cumulus cells after 48 hours of culture without serum. Granulosa-lutein cells after 48 hours of culture in serum-free medium of one patient who conceived (C) and of one who did not conceive (D). Cells are marked with propidium iodide (0.01 mg/mL) and with a fluorescent marker for activated caspases, caspACE-FITC-VAD-FMK (10 μM). Bar = 50 μm. Bencomo.

FIGURE 2 (A) The percentage of apoptosis after 48 hours of culture without serum of mural GL cells that were obtained from patients <38 years old and ≥38 years old (P=.015, Mann-Whitney U). (B) Dose–response of GL cell apoptosis to IGF-I (0.3, 10, and 30 nM; P=.043, Kruskal-Wallis). a,bMeans are statistically different (Mann-Whitney U with Bonferroni correction: P<.05). (C) Percentage of apoptosis of GL cells from patients who became pregnant in that IVF cycle and from patients who did not, after 48 hours of culture without serum (P=.006, Student’s t-test). Bencomo.
